the sickness took us all down

 The good news is that Gordy seems to have fully recovered from being sick (whatever that sickness was).  The bad news is that now Todd and I have it.

Gordy's third day of being sick was the roughest.  His fever was still up, his tummy was still very sensitive and he just seemed exhausted.  He was so nauseous that he ended up spending a half an hour prior to dinner sitting at/on the toilet in case he threw up.  He refused to go to his bed or even to lay on the floor near the toilet because he was so sure that he was going to throw up.  After about 30 minutes watching my poor little guy struggle, I saw his arm twitching and realized that he'd fallen asleep.

We left him on the pot for a bit to let him really fall asleep and then we gently transferred him to his bed with a bowl by side in case his tummy woke him up.

After a 13+ hour sleep, Gordy woke up feeling much better the next morning.  It seemed that his body had fought off the sick bug and was pretty much back to normal.

A few days later, I came down with what seemed to be the same bug, and sadly, it's lingering in me with congestion, fatigue, and an ear ache.  To make matters worse, Todd went downhill yesterday.  

We did not get Gordy tested for COVID this time around because the doctor said that his symptoms did not sound like COVID.  However, now that we all have it, and each of our symptoms are a little different, it seems like the right thing to do to go and get the test.  So, we are all going to Wahiawa for to get our brains swabbed tomorrow.  Fun times.
